Printers & Types

Speakers, Headphones, and Earbuds

Other Output Devices

WHAT IS OUTPUT?What is output? Data that has been processed into a useful form

Output device is any hardware component that can convey information to one or more people

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is a display device? Output device that visually conveys text,

graphics, and video information Information on display device sometimes

called soft copy Monitor houses display device that is packaged

as separate peripheral

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is an LCD monitor? Uses liquid crystal display Has a small footprint Mobile devices that contain

LCD displays include Notebook computer, Tablet

PC, ultra personal computer, portable media player, smart phone, and PDA

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat are some mobile devices that have LCD screens?

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is resolution?

Sharpness and clarity of image

Higher resolution makes image sharper, displays more text on screen, makes some elements

smaller

Number of horizontal and vertical pixels in a display device

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is a plasma monitor? Displays image by applying voltage to layer of gas

Larger screen size and richer colors than LCD, but are more expensive

Great for game playing, watching movies, and browsing the Internet

HDTV (high-definition television)is the most advanced form

of digital TV

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is digital television (DTV) and high-

definition television (HDTV)?

Uses digital signals to producecrisper, higher-quality output

on LCD and plasma televisions

Many programs can bebroadcast on a single

digital channel

All broadcast stationstransmit digital signals

High resolution

DISPLAY DEVICESWhat is a CRT

monitor? Contains cathode-ray tube (CRT)

Screen coated with tiny dots of phosphor material Each dot consists of a red,

blue, and green phosphor Common sizes are 15, 17,

19, 21, and 22 inches Viewable size is diagonal

measurement of actual viewing area

PRINTERSWhat is a printer? Output device that

produces text and graphics on a physical medium

Result is hard copy, or printout

Two orientations: portrait and landscape

PRINTERS What are the various ways to print

documents and pictures?

PRINTERS What is a nonimpact printer? Forms characters and graphics without striking paper

Ink-jet printer sprays tiny drops of liquid ink onto paper Prints in black-and-white or color on a variety

of paper types

PRINTERSWhat is the resolution of a printer? Sharpness and clarity Measured by number of dots per inch (dpi) printer

can output

PRINTERS How does an ink-jet printer work?

print cartridge

print head

firing chamber

nozzlebubble resistor ink

ink dot

Step 1. A small resistor heats the ink, causing the ink to boil and form a vapor bubble.

Step 2. The vapor bubble forces the ink through the nozzle.

Step 3. Ink drops onto the paper.

Step 4. As the vapor bubble collapses, fresh ink is drawn into the firing chamber.

PRINTERS What is a photo printer? Color printer that produces

photo-lab-quality pictures Many photo printers have a

built-in card slot Pitch Bridge is a standard

technology that allows you to print pictures directly from a digital camera

PRINTERS What is a laser printer? High-speed, high-quality

nonimpact printer Prints text and graphics in

high-quality resolution, ranging from 1,200 to 2,400 dpi

Typically costs more than ink-jet printer, but is much faster

PRINTERS How does a laser printer work?

PRINTERS What is a thermal printer?

Generates images by pushing electrically heated pins against heat-sensitive paper Dye-sublimation printer (also called a digital photo printer)

uses heat to transfer dye to specially coated paper

PRINTERS What is a mobile printer? Small, lightweight, battery-powered printer that allows

mobile user to print from notebook computer, Tablet PC, PDA, or smart phone while traveling

PRINTERS What are label printers and postage

printers? Small printer that prints on adhesive-type material Most also print bar codes

Postage printer has built-in digital scale and printspostage stamps

PRINTERS What is a plotter? Sophisticated printer used to produce high-quality

drawings Large-format printer creates photo-realistic-quality

color prints

PRINTERS What is a dot-matrix printer? Impact printer that produces printed images

when tiny wire pins strike ribbon Impact printer forms

characters by striking mechanism against inked ribbon that contacts paper

PRINTERS What is a line printer? High-speed impact printer

that prints entire lineat a time

Speed measured in lines per minute (lpm) Band printer prints fully

formed characters using a hammer mechanism

Shuttle-matrix printer is high-speed printer that works like dot-matrix printer

SPEAKERS, HEADPHONES, AND EARPHONES

What is an audio output device? Computer component that produces music, speech, or

other sounds Speakers and headsets are common devices

OTHER OUTPUT DEVICESWhat is a facsimile (fax) machine? Device that transmits and receives documents over

telephone lines Converts an original document into a digitized image Many computers include fax capability

OTHER OUTPUT DEVICESWhat is a multifunction peripheral? Provides functionality

of printer, scanner, copy machine, and fax machine

OTHER OUTPUT DEVICESWhat is a data

projector? Device that takes text and images from computer screen and projects them onto larger screen

DLP projector LCD projector

OTHER OUTPUT DEVICESWhat is an interactive

whiteboard? Touch-sensitive device

that displays the image on a connected computer screen

SMART board

Multifunction peripherals

SUMMARY OF OUTPUT

Display devices

Printers

Speakers, headphones, and earphones

Fax machines and fax modems

Data projectors

Interactive whiteboards

Force feedback joysticks, wheels, and gamepads
